The Flecking Records website wants us to vote our favorite visual entertainers and of course McFly is among the nominees, they’re compiting against Adam Lambert, Katy Perry and Lady Gaga.

We’re on the hunt to find out who you guys think puts on the best live show – you’ve nominated your favourites, now it’s time to vote.

Of course the music and the voice are very important, but when you’re checking out a band or an artist live you’ve got to look at the bigger picture – the clothes, the hair, the props, the stage, the fireworks – it’s all part of what makes the show so special.

Inspiered by Adam Lambert’s quotes about visual performing, we want to know who you think puts on the best live show.

“I come from the performing arts,” Adam told Ottawacitizen.com . “I have all my life. Being on stage is part of what makes me tick and is my inspiration. When I created a lot of these songs, I would think of the visuals in my head: ‘How would I stage this? What would the music video look like? What would I wear? What colours are going on? What things are happening?’

“I’m a very visual person. Some people create a soundtrack in their head, but I create a movie in my head to my soundtrack.”

We’ve got a bunch of talented musician AND visual performers for you. Doing it for the boys we’ve got Adam Lambert and McFly, and in the girls’ corner we have Katy Perry and Lady GaGa.
